You've discovered RedGuides, an EverQuest multi-boxing and scripting community 🧙♀️⚙️. We want you to play several EQ characters at once, come join us and say hello! 👋

no. RG has no plans on supporting that
Understood, is the reason due to legality, demand, possibility or just not interested? Genuine my curiosity to see if it would ever be a possibility.
I see what happened to THJ so thought maybe you guys found a niche and didn’t want to get into a similar mess with that by stepping in a different area.
MQ/RG is a boxing community for EQ1, not eq2, not landmark, not EQL.
the reality is EQL team just had a huge lawsuit over THJ to the amount of $3m+ dollars and then basically launched THJ 2.0. I dunno about you, but I really don't want to see dbg burn down eq1 or mq/rg for some other game that is going to probably need a scapegoat if it fails - many folks are of the opinion that they used THJ as a scapegoat for some of the failed TLPs (before this current one and the next one later this year. which will probably be successful as well).
DBG hasn't had a lot of communication with "the community" after holly left - but the communication they did have had an emphasis about encouraging folks to leave truebox alone.
Some of the folks that are involved in EQL definitely, factually, objectively "sold out" MQ and the MQ community to make it happen. I'm of the personal opinion that that dick measuring contest isn't worth it.
We just want to play EQ1 the way we want to play it - EQ1, MQ and RG will hopefully still be here despite of the success or failure of EQL.
DBG just gave "us" a non-truebox tlp and have another one later this year. We're gonna leave the truebox other game alone.
As much of a fan of multi-classing as I am, I will never understand the draw people have for these interactive screensaver type of "games". You show up, everything falls down and you're rewarded with meaningless numbers floating around the screen. They are meaningless because you were never under any threat or needed any skill to win. Might as well just play a clicker game, it's the same thing with less moving around. EQ2 was great, then wow released and 3 months later they hit the EZmode button, then EQ2 was awful. EQL is clearly EZmode from day 1. I mean I get it, we all need a mindless thing to do from time to time but no way I'm paying a monthly fee to play one of those. Games like that are freebies you pick up here and there, not this abomination.
This is the one statement that I've heard against EQL that has made me pause. Without knowing details, that part sours me a bit.
The random comments from others in this thread against people enjoying a game that matches their playstyle is a choice I guess but just seems unnecessary. Having said that, I also don't really understand why there have been repetitive requests about bringing further automation to a game that removes all barriers that automation would be helpful to get around.
For me personally (not intended to sell anything to anyone), live wasn't fun without the help of the tools this site's team builds/supports. RG allowed me to play the latest content. Without it, I couldn't. I could have switched to FTP and throw away accounts, but I don't mind paying subscriptions for a game I enjoy and play to experience new things without impacting the gameplay of others.
I still love the original EQ world and game. EQL may long term run out of things to keep my interest but at the moment it fills a void for me that has the right amount of nostalgia.
Unfortunately, absolutely, nobody asking the question is going to read it. Otherwise, they would have caught it the six other times it was asked.
I’ll be honest I think they knew all this ahead of time and put out a crap TLP they knew would fail just to have ammo to go after THJ because EQL was on the works.
Although just want to kill the rumors that EQL is an Emu or using THJ code. Neither of these is true. It’s completely different from THJ uses no THJ code. It does not use EMU Server code it uses the Live EQ code base. Yes, the Game Jawn team is made up of EMU Devs. I’m still going to play I totally enjoyed beta.
well for clarify in case there is confusion (lots of people seem to be picking and choosing what things they're actually reading/comprehending/keeping with regards to eql) i didn't say, don't think, imply, or otherwise that they're "using thj code" - they certainly took ideas/concepts that folks seemed to like from thj and ran with those ideas - some of those ideas had existed for years earlier from other EMUs (classless server, for example) - but also D&D had/has multiclassing since like 1974 - some even popularized if not created/invented/thought-of or at least *implemented* by some of the game jawn team (secrets). Lots of folks seem to have the *actual* thj server code - I know of at least 1 set of birdbrains who seem to think it is a good idea to fire up an EMU with the literal copypaste full thj code - so hopefully that doesn't bring more negativity to the emu community as a whole.
for additional clarity - I hope EQL is successful, but i'm also emphatical about wishing that EQL doesn't end up pushing too much of the "fancy ideas" over to live. 4k scaling? sweet do it! multiclassing on live? no please no

I don't want to speak out of turn. I believe they could run an Emu with multiclass as long as they stuck with the EQEMU guidelines/TOS and didn't charge people money or collect donations for items like THJ did. Still risky, but legally could fall into that realm of "It's ok"
I also hope for the success of DB and DarkPaw because EQ is a game I want to see around for as long as possible for nostalgia reasons. But for my own reasons I refuse to assist monetarily with that success any longer. I have moved on from EQ for now and am doing other things on other games. I still linger here because this community is super fantastic and I can talk about stuff without fear of being shut down. Well, shut down for reasons that are outside of being a complete jackass, but I wouldn't do that.
